Center Street Promenade in downtown Anaheim is prominent for attracting hoards of tourists and locals year after year with the Anaheim Nutcracker Holiday Festival, but it is also a wonderful place to be on a lazy afternoon. The area features a pedestrian-only shopping district running for several blocks along West Center Street and is home to a slew of holiday festivities and events. During Christmas, expect a visit from Santa Claus, live musicians, and carolers. Stop by any time during the rest of the year to sample food from a lovely variety of local eateries lining the promenade or to pick up gifts in the many shops and boutiques in the area.
